VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE
ONLY USE ESSENTIAL APPLIANCES WHEN POWER IS RESTORED
Consumers are reminded to use electricity sparingly especially when power returns after load shedding. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network. Consumers are requested, where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding.

LOW PRESSURES AND NO WATER IN UNIONDALE
Some parts of Uniondale may experience low pressures and no water due to unplanned maintenance on the town’s raw water supply pipeline. Water trucks will roam the areas affected. We will confirm the progress and time of repairs.
This is due to Fish stuck in the raw water line between the town’s raw water storage dam and the water treatment facility.
